No, I'm using the built-in default template, admittedly most of the time
I'm using StarOffice. But my OOo 2.0 build (the only one I could grab
immediately) exactly did the same. It is a Sun build (some of the kind
you can download from OOo), don't know if that's what you call a
"vanilla" build.
You seem to refer to the "Standard" style, that's not what I am talking
about. I was refering to the "Default style". Here's this style from my
styles.xml:
<style:default-style style:family="paragraph">
<style:paragraph-properties fo:hyphenation-ladder-count="no-limit"
style:text-autospace="ideograph-alpha"
style:punctuation-wrap="hanging"
style:line-break="strict"
style:tab-stop-distance="1.251cm"
style:writing-mode="page"/>
<style:text-properties style:use-window-font-color="true"
style:font-name="Thorndale"
fo:font-size="12pt"
fo:language="de"
fo:country="DE"
style:font-name-asian="Andale Sans UI"
style:font-size-asian="12pt" style:language-asian="none"
style:country-asian="none" style:font-name-complex="Tahoma"
style:font-size-complex="12pt" style:language-complex="none"
style:country-complex="none" fo:hyphenate="false"
fo:hyphenation-remain-char-count="2"
fo:hyphenation-push-char-count="2"/>
</style:default-style>

Yes, it's an inherited style. All paragraph styles without an own
language attribute inherit their language setting from the default
paragraph style. This value is shown in the dialog.
If you manually remove the language and country settings from the
default paragraph style you will not see a value for the language in the
dialog for editing the style as obviously in your case. OOo also will
take the document language from the metadata as a fallback for the spell
checker. But only then!
If you don't see a value in your dialog you probably have a different
default paragraph style. Correct?
As the default style IIRC is hard coded (have to check that) I wonder
how this can happen.

We don't call something broken that never was correct. Of course it's
still a bug (and if you spent two hours finding it it surely is an
unfortunate one for you). You can accuse me of nitpicking. ;-)

What do you mean by "general section"? The "default styles" section? Of
course, that's what I was talking about all the time. And my documents
*do* have a language set there (see above) and it works as described.

As the OP asked for spellchecking I addressed that by explaining how
spellchecking works with languages. As in my documents a language is set
in the default paragraph style always (and I assumed the same is true
for his documents) changing the document language property in the
metadata wouldn't help at all - even if we didn't have the bug that the
language can't be set via API. You can try it by hacking the meta.xml
manually. OOo will ignore the language set there - except if you also
removed the language in the default style.
